Seven days after Liu Suifeng sent the news of Li Dingguo's request for surrender, another urgent document was sent to the regent palace in the southwest.

Sun Kewang of the Great Western Army wrote a letter asking for surrender, and sent an envoy Pan Guofeng to Nanjing to meet him. Sun Kewang was very humble this time, not only did he not want to be crowned king, he only asked for the post of governor of Yunnan, and asked the imperial court to send a governor to Yunnan.

When Liu Suifeng's submission was delivered to Zhai Zhe's desk, the order of the military department went out. The imperial court appointed Li Dingguo as the general of Yongning, and jointly managed the defense of Guizhou with Liu Wenxiujun

Zhai Zhe already knew that Li Dingguo's army had been wiped out, but Liu Suifeng wrote that Li Dingguo had a prestige in the Great Western Army, and strongly recommended him to be in charge of the defense of Guizhou with Pi Xiong. After Sun Kewang attacked Luoxiong Prefecture, Li Dingguo proposed to the imperial court that he would not attack the Great Western Army, but of course it didn't count.

It's just that he didn't expect Sun Kewang to beg for surrender immediately, which caught Liu Suifeng off guard, and also pushed Zhai Zhe into a very difficult situation.

In the study.

Zhai Zhe took out Liu Suifeng's two urgent reports, read them again and again, picked up the brush and put it down.

He couldn't refuse Sun Kewang's surrender, and the temptation to pacify the Great Western Army without spending a single soldier beckoned to him. Sun Kewang is unruly, insidious and vicious, and there is no shortage of such people among his subordinates. Fujian, Guangdong, and Sichuan have already subjugated their subordination, and after the division of the Great Western Army, it is not surprising that Sun Kewang can make such a move in recognition of current affairs.

Liu Suifeng said that Li Dingguo was a general, but it was impossible for him to let tens of thousands of people go to the battlefield because of Li Dingguo's personal grievances.

Because, he is the regent of the Ming Dynasty.

Yunnan is remote, and the swords and soldiers are together, which not only costs countless money and food, but also does not know how many people will die on the battlefield. The war situation in the north is in danger of victory, and the imperial court actually has no spare strength to put it in the south. This time, he was able to start from within the Great Western Army, and use Zheng Zhilong's hesitation to eliminate the rebellion in the south.

Sun Kewang's envoy had not yet arrived in Nanjing, he begged for surrender to Liu Suifeng in Guiyang on the one hand, and directly sent an envoy to Nanjing to meet Zhai Zhe directly, and he was also prepared with both hands

After Zhai Zhe made a decision, the envoy galloped towards Guiyang again.

Half a month later, Liu received a messenger with the wind. Except for Li Dingguo, no one in the Onishi Army knew the news.

Li Dingguo only received the holy decree of canonization ten days ago, and Liu Wenxiu felt a little comforted in his heart. Bai Wenxuan and other generals waited for the sharpening of their swords, and were ready to wait for the imperial court to order, so they attacked Yunnan and opened the knife on their former companions.

Zhai Zhe's decision did not surprise Liu Suifeng, and he accepted Sun Kewang's request to surrender.

The envoy rested in Guiyang City for two days, and Liu ordered people to go out of Annanwei to contact Sun Kewang.

Less than a month after the mutiny, the roads between Yunnan and Guizhou were closed, and the two sides were eyeing each other. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's army were at the forefront, so they almost didn't take the initiative to attack.

The news that Liu Suifeng had sent people to Kunming quickly spread, and when the envoy returned from Kunming five days later, Liu Wenxiu and others learned about it.

This is really nightmare news, Liu Wenxiu was furious, and his first feeling was betrayed by the imperial court. He hurriedly ordered hundreds of his own soldiers and rushed to Li Dingguo's camp

Li Dingguo has few soldiers and horses, and he is not far from Liu Wenxiu's station. He came to the front of Li Dingguo's camp with great momentum.

The guards reported inside, and a moment later, the soldier opened the door and let him in.

Soon after the imperial court conferred the official title on Li Dingguo, the uniforms and armor had not yet been delivered, and only Guizhou provided military rations. The soldiers of the camp were still wearing the clothes of the Great Western Army.

Liu Wenxiu strode towards the hall of the Chinese army, and when he walked into the hall, he saw four or five generals kneeling there, and Li Dingguo stood with his hands behind his back.

"General Li," Liu Wenxiu shouted.

Li Dingguo raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling him to be calm and calm.

Where can Liu Wenxiu settle down, and asked, "Do you know everything?" ”

Li Dingguo nodded.

"I hurt you" Liu Wenxiu blurted out, and he was about to tell Liu Suifeng that he had sent false news to Sun Kewang.

Li Dingguo shouted: "Don't talk nonsense" interrupted him.

A bald-headed military general kneeling on his left hand side scolded: "The court deceived people too much, and when we were defeated by Sun Kewang, they changed their minds, and sure enough, none of the officials were good." General, it's better for us to rebel again, so we entered Guiyang City, grabbed money and food, recruited troops and horses, and then turned back to capture Yunnan. ”

Liu Wenxiu was angry and funny when he heard it, he was not so reckless.

Li Dingguo's face sank, and he shouted: "Kan Ze, how dare you talk nonsense, come here, drag it down and beat twenty military staffs." "He was generous but very strict, and immediately two of his guards rushed up and dragged the bald head out of the tent.

His expression was calm, and he said to Liu Wenxiu: "General Liu, since you and I have already invested in the imperial court, we should abide by the laws of the imperial court." How the imperial court treats Sun Kewang is a matter for the imperial court. ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Others don't know, don't you know yet?" How could Sun Kewang really take refuge in the imperial court. He is just worried about the general's prestige in the Great Western Army, once the imperial court decides to order the general to lead the army to attack Yunnan, there will be a surrender of the general's old army, and he is delaying the army. In another half a year, after he purged dissidents, he would no longer be submissive to the court. ”

Seeing Liu Wenxiu's excited expression, Li Dingguo was moved in his heart, and said calmly: "Half a month ago, I knew that Sun Kewang was begging to surrender, and Liu Shilang asked me before he wrote the book. ”

Liu Wenxiu was shocked and asked, "Did the general agree to Sun Kewang's surrender?" ”

Li Dingguo said in his heart: "For such a big matter, how can I be the master, I'm afraid that Liu Suifeng won't be able to be the master." But he agreed, "Yes, I agreed."

This sentence blocked Liu Wenxiu's speech.

Li Dingguo said: "I have written to the imperial court, asking to lead the army across the river to the north. "Everyone has their own secrets, Liu Wenxiu has secrets, and he has them. He did not tell Liu Wenxiu, and Sun Kewang would send his family out of Yunnan after returning to the imperial court.

Several generals kneeling there were all surprised when they heard what Li Dingguo said.

Li Dingguo continued: "You said that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and Sun Kewang will kill himself." Now it has become him comforting Liu Wenxiu.

Liu Wenxiu was still indignant in his heart, but seeing that Li Dingguo had accepted it, he had nothing to say.

Next.

Liu Suifeng ordered people to summon Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu into Guiyang City.

The envoy was going to Kunming to announce the decree, and he wanted to appease the generals of the Great Western Army, so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Wall.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led their troops into Guiyang City, and Liu Suifeng specially set up a family banquet to entertain them.

The meal was very silent, the best dishes and the best wine, and several people at the banquet could not enjoy themselves with their own thoughts.

It wasn't until the end of the banquet that Liu Suifeng said: "There is something I didn't tell you, but I'm afraid that if I say it in advance, you won't be able to eat." Sun Kewang begged the court to surrender, the court has promised to grant Sun Kewang as the governor of Yunnan, tomorrow the envoy will go to Kunming to announce the decree, from then on, you will be in the same hall as a minister, the past grievances are put aside. ”

Everyone at the banquet knew about it, and Liu Wenxiu still didn't feel good in his heart.

Liu Suifeng saw everyone's reactions, and said: "General Li asked to lead the army north, and the general also agreed, and an order will be sent in the near future." The general ordered me to send you a message, if you can go north to Shaanxi and make meritorious deeds, the promise I gave you in Luoxiong Prefecture last year is still valid, and the king is just around the corner. ”

Things are irrevocable. Li Dingguo lowered his head and drank the residual wine in the cup, intrigue was not his forte, and it was his wish to go to the northern battlefield to drive out the Tartars and make meritorious contributions. The regent's statement can be regarded as a reassurance to him.

Liu Suifeng also said: "I sent an envoy to Kunming the day before yesterday, and I have negotiated with Sun Kewang on the terms, General Li has an old ministry in Yunnan, and he can draw up a list of 3,000 people to return to his headquarters. ”

This is Liu Suifeng's last contribution to Li Dingguo. The imperial court did not have this requirement, but he was ordered by the regent to be in charge of recruiting the Great Western Army, so he insisted on withholding the holy decree and negotiated this condition with Sun Kewang.

"Thank you, Liu Shilang," Li Dingguo got up from the banquet. Liu Suifeng did this, he was able to summon the old department to avoid Sun Kewang's poisonous hands, and he had no regrets.

A meal, hurried to come, hurried away.

Li Dingguo and others said goodbye to Liu Suifeng and returned to the barracks.

On the way, Liu Wenxiu said: "General Li is going to Shaanxi, I also want to go, staying in Guizhou every day and thinking of Sun Kewang opposite, it is really boring." ”

Before Li Dingguo could speak, Bai Wenxuan behind him interjected: "I'm afraid that the imperial court won't agree." ”

Liu Wenxiu was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Bai Wenxuan said with a smile: "If you can calculate, who can compare to that Liu Shilang." Liu Zongbing knew that Sun Kewang was pretending to surrender, didn't Liu Shilang know? Guizhou General Soldier Pi Xiong can't resist Sun Kewang, and the imperial court will not let Pi Xiong be the overlord here, you will definitely be left here. ”

Because when he was tortured by Sun Kewang, he was instructed by Liu Suifeng to survive in death, and he has always been in awe of Liu Suifeng. Such a person can only be a friend, not an enemy.

Liu Wenxiu thought of Liu Suifeng asking him to deceive Li Dingguo, and was silent.

Guiyang City.

Liu sent off the generals of the Great Western Army with the wind and took a long breath. The situation in the southwest has been full of twists and turns, and it is finally about to come to a successful conclusion. As for Sun Kewang's rebellion in the future, he also told the regent in the compromise, please make it clear, and he doesn't need to bear the charges.

He once had another idea: first frame Sun Kewang with a holy decree, wait for Li Dingguo's family and subordinates to leave Yunnan, and then use Li Dingguo as the commander to attack Yunnan and level the Great Western Army. But the court did not believe in it, and the matter would do far more harm than good in the long run, and he knew that the regent would definitely not agree.

After recovering the Great Western Army, looking at the courtiers, no one has more credit than him, even Zong Mao is inferior, at least he thinks so.

After returning to Nanjing, he should be able to ascend to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Suifeng counted his thoughts with his fingers, he calculated and calculated, only Qian Sule, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was most likely to give way to him.

At this moment, the guards hurriedly came in and said, "My lord, a messenger has arrived in Nanjing. ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Suifeng ordered: "Let him in." ”

The messenger is the Liu family, and he presents a letter, and the cover page is Liu Quan's handwriting.

Liu opened it with the wind and took a look, and a layer of black clouds was instantly covered on his face.
